Whether it's right or wrong
Depends on whose side you find yourself on
Don't mistake my empathy
As confirmation that I agree
It's so easy
To be uptight
When you've never been made a fool of
It's not easy
It's not alright
When you're playing a game you know you can never win
Is my perspective warped?
Am I too placid to speak my thoughts?
What could the reason be
For them to speak so openly
Am I a doormat or not?
This seems to happen an awful lot
Why can't they leave me be?
Can they not tell I disagree?
It's so easy
To be uptight
When you've never been made a fool of
It's not easy
It's not alright
When you're playing a game you know you can never win
It's so easy
To be uptight
When you've never been made a fool of
It's not easy
It's not alright
When you're playing their game
It's so easy
To be uptight
When you've never been made a fool of
It's not easy
It's not alright
When you're playing a game you know you can never win
